I think she was the best Prime Minister's wife Malaysia has had. Cute as a couple. We don't have the idea of a first lady, but she was a lady, first.
It's no wonder we often referred to her as Ibu Negara, the mother of the nation. Condolences to Mahathir & his family.

Was wondering where my Codex usage went to... checked in on a long running Amp orb, and found my answer. I don't often use Astra now, preferring GPT-6 Sol medium, but amp medium will juice that Astra.
There is a mode dial to tune this, but I much prefer when the Amp team does this with the new models, so can't wait to see GPT-6 Sol/Luna, and Opus 5.5, make its way to us by default. 5.6 Terra was a big Amp bet, but that seems to not be something OpenAI is paying as much attention to now.

Have not tried this with Muse (for obvious reasons), but Grok Bot - tell it to go find something available retail, it's not that great.
Why? Because we're living in a part of the world where you don't have Amazon/Walmart/better online inventory.
You can tell it to poll, but you might find that you're better off being lucky manually polling.
That aside, Gemini 3.6 Flash (yes, I said 3.6) can also do a similar search for you.
Note I did not even bother trying with stronger models, i.e. stuff from OpenAI or Anthropic.
So a lot of the wow experiences also depend on having wow infrastructure which Malaysia isn't bad at, but isn't great at, either.
P/S: you can try these searches for say an iPhone 18 Pro, or a Uniball Zento 0.7mm pen, or even a bottle of 2L Farm Fresh Milk.

We used to have a higher quality of bug report. This is not what I expected the Codex team to see.
TIL, you can use OpenAI services in Iraq.

I use codex daily, and just discovered there is a /vim mode.
How many other cool things exist, that we just don't know about for months on end, because of the shipping velocity that OpenAI & other frontier labs have?

$21.7m for the Omacom Foundation, run lean, this might be the most an open source foundation raised by just having positive vibes

To securely scale to billions, the baseOS is Linux.
we built muse from scratch, but it is definitely heavily inspired as a product by openclaw. After I used openclaw in january I bought hundreds of mac minis for the MSL team and lots of us fell in love with using openclaw (and other personal agents). @steipete is a genius and his harness was pioneering from the jump. I think a lot of people were inspired by it. our goal with muse was to build something like openclaw that we could make safe and secure and easy to use and scale to billions of people.

So it was a data exfiltration issue. Why was this necessary in the first place? It’s kind of like malware.
Open sourcing it doesn’t mean much of anything though - even though we say many eyes make shallow bugs.
In response to the ZCode product security issues reported by the community, we have completed the necessary remediation and sincerely apologize to all our users.
We have open-sourced ZCode at github.com/zai-org/ZCode, placing the code under community scrutiny and making ZCode more open and transparent.
We sincerely thank the community developers who previously identified issues in ZCode. Going forward, we will establish an ongoing product security vulnerability reporting and response process. We welcome developers to continue reviewing ZCode and reporting potential issues, and we will provide rewards based on the severity of the issues reported.
With respect to the code data referenced by the community, we confirm that no such data is retained and that it has never been used for model training.
Following the remediation, we invited the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) and NSFOCUS to conduct security assessments. The results are as follows:
Through its technical assessment, CAICT confirmed that the zcode-prod Alibaba Cloud OSS bucket is in a zero-data state. Security remediation has been completed in the ZCode v3.14.0 client. The Repo Wiki feature has been removed, and the workflow for generating and uploading local repository snapshots has been disabled.
NSFOCUS confirmed that all data objects in the zcode-prod Alibaba Cloud OSS bucket, as well as the bucket itself, have been deleted. Remediation has been completed in the ZCode v3.14.0 client. The Repo Wiki entry point and the associated generation workflow have been removed, and no functional path capable of triggering the generation of local repository snapshots or transmitting local files externally was identified.
Once again, we sincerely apologize and welcome continued scrutiny from the community. The full security assessment report will be released soon.

good, short read

new post: the senior engineer death spiral

a friend just started a big job and asked for some advice. so I braindumped a monologue about a super common failure mode I see with engineers and posted it here, hope it helps whoever it can.

Malaysia mentioned! Thanks Tim Cook :)
Malaysia shipping info is: 2-3 weeks but if you’re willing to get a “boring” color (ie not the new hot ones like burgundy or glacier) some seem to be available from Apple TRX now.
New York? You can get one at stores pretty much immediately. London is kind of the same for the Pro.
Pro Max seems to be more popular, or they're the ones with reduced supply.
So didn’t quite sell out or they’ve mastered the art of the supply chain.
From New York to Mumbai, London to Malaysia, there’s nothing like seeing customers experience our newest products for the first time. Happy Availability Day! Hope you love them as much as we do.

This is a very good read from @AirEVthingTRNSP on the AirAsia situation. Didn't realise that they have fallen behind on payments from a June report (linked in article, but seeing Rolls-Royce talk about delayed payments for a maintenance package for jet engines is worrisome).
AirAsia had RM954m in cash & equivalents, one of the lowest balances tracked by Bloomberg, for airlines globally. Also strange how AirAsia only operates 161 planes, out of the 239 in its fleet.
AirAsia has sold six newly-delivered aircraft since the start of last year, including two in July, in an unusual about-face that points to the financial strain gripping the airline bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Sometimes the chatter can lead to a crisis of confidence. Let’s never forget the BA Dirty Tricks campaign against Virgin. It’s good to see AirAsia speak out.

This is cool. Why is Malaysia targeting 2030 for autonomous vehicles on the road? Accelerate now, kind of like approving Full Self Driving. There should be no reason to delay progress.
Look who has landed in Singapore! 👀
Fresh off the plane from the US, we're welcoming Waymo as Singapore's newest autonomous vehicle (#AV) operator, joining ComfortDelGro and Grab. 🚗🛜

This probably goes down in history... because of the contents, and the Malaysia Madani logo.
Guess he can have a lot more caramel macchiattos now
BREAKING: Malaysia’s Najib Razak granted conditional pardon allowing him to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest until August 23, 2028, subject to him paying a RM50 million fine.

Did someone already make, "Is Najib free yet?"
For someone not paying full attention, but also interested in what's going on in Malaysia, I learned quite a bit about the Negri stuff from malaysiakini.com/news/885209…
But I don't think it's what shrinking attention spans grasp. But maybe people are also worried about writing about sensitive things? There's opportunity to make this kind of media work...

I consider Markdown files very common, but I am also surprised by this where someone using a Mac for 20 years has never made a Markdown file. They're just text files with formatting... Benedict makes great keynote presentations

I've always thought the query optimiser is generally beyond me, from a coding standpoint. But maybe it's time to revisit things.
What if we trained a model to take natural language that gave you faster query execution, anyway?
